She makes a nice model.
This a gorgeous book. The sense, while reading, is visual. The poems are all so short, a compression of multi-meaning sparse impressions. Rexroth includes mini-biographies of each author in the back, which adds some needed weight for lost a reader like me. I don't know anything about Japanese, its poetry, or ancient history. I had no context for these. I enjoyed them, even if they didn't stick. I enjoyed looking at them.
